Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Statute of Limitations

I was arrested by U.S. Secret Service for posession and manufacture of counterfeit currency. Made a motion to supress evidence due to an injust search. The motion was granted and my case dismissed. Here I was told that the state may now file charges against me for the same incident. How long do they have to file?

Re: Statute of Limitations

Thank you for your posting and your inquiry.

The statute of limitations truly depends on the charges filed against you. Although the state can't file federal charges, I can think of about 10 different potential charges, including fraud, which, depending on the amount, could be felonies, subject to a statute of limitations of three years or more.

It might be safe to say that I can't truly give you an accurate answer to your question without additional information.

I hope that this information helps you, but if you have further questions, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. It's my pleasure to assist in any way that I can.
